Perfect Sunday - bake a cake and homemade ice-cream

-
 Hello All, It was so much fun yesterday. I think best time spend with my little one and husband. I was planning to bake a cake for a very long time in the microwave. But for the fast years, I had not gone through the recipe and was just postponing it as I was too busy with my daily work. But then, yesterday, husband darling got into the mood of making ice - cream for my daughter. I was just giving them the beater and teaching them how to use it. Then, looking at my daughter's face, I thought - "well! its getting postponed from quite a few years. let me try it out again." When I told her, "Guess What!!! Mummy is going to bake a cake for all of us especially for you." Her face just lit up. That moment I wouldn't be able to describe in words. It was finally the moment arrived. I made a simple sponge cake which all of us relished. It was just yummmm. A quiet evening but an eventful. The joy of baking which had vanished somewhere, came back to me after many  man...

Life is precious – Let us help eachother.

Hey Everyone,

Today I want to bring to you a movie which will revive our fighter spirit in this pandemic period. In today’s day and age where information spreads (true or fake) faster than fire. Looking at all this both on social media as well as on news channels people’s mental health is affected vastly as there are curbs being imposed by the respective governments on our independence, let it be in any country. This pandemic has taken a toll not just on physical well - being but also on mental being. Not just that it has also impacted severely the relationships among people. But let us look at it in a different way.

Let us go back in history when that is during the late 1930s. When one person tried to wipe out an entire community from the planet. People were marked, identified, coerced out of their homes, called names, and thrown in ghettos and then God knows what happened. Families were wiped out. Young children, Infants, Old and unhealthy were the most vulnerable of them all. Young girls and women were raped. The atrocities, to say, were beyond words. People who survived, were the lucky ones and others who helped them in their quest for survival were deemed to be angels.

The movie that I am bringing to you is a 2002 release based on a autobiographical book - The Pianist, A Holocaust Memoir by the survivor Wladyslaw Szpilman (A Pianist and Composer) who was a Polish Jew. Adrian Brody plays the character of the main protagonist who did a commendable job of portraying the character of the Pianist. The family lives in Warsaw which is attacked by the German and Soviet Forces on different war fronts at the same time, but Germany takes control of the region in which they live. The promised aid from France and Great Britain does not come and the Jews are identified and taken to camps, put in ghettos.

The scene which broke my heart was when a family is surrounded by the forces and an old man on a wheelchair is pushed from the apartment and an entire family is killed. Dead bodies are everywhere on the streets and people are killed on gunpoint for no reason whatsoever. It is a heart wrenching moment when people die, and there is uncertainty everywhere.  

The movie teaches us how important human life is and what it really means to live with dignity. A section of people was deprived of all the basic rights and sometimes had to hide themselves to survive in the long term. Life sometimes becomes merciless, but we should never leave our fighting spirit that lies within us. We should take lessons from human history and learn the art of survival in the worst possible conditions as life is not always a smooth sail. Let us all together in this tough time be each other’s support and help one and all as much as possible for the greater good of the humanity.

Do not forget to comment and Follow me.

Love You All,

Namitha.

What is the reason that BJP couldn't touch the magic number of 272?

-
The elections concluded with much grandeur and the results were awaited with baited breath by all. The toppers looked upon it as achieving All India Rank with record numbers while others saw it as  an opportunity to gain lost ground. It was a very well fought election from the both sides. The voters were offered different kinds of promises. Five years ago it was the slogan of 'Ayega toh Modi hi' which everyone knew that it was the writing on the wall any which ways. But this time around the BJP went a little overboard with its slogan ' Abki baar 400 Paar'. This slogan echoed the confidence of the party but somewhere it bought some kind of apprehension among the voters which the opposition was trying to instill.  The media diverted its attention towards the numbers but the opposition saw this as an opportunity to create anxiety among the voters that this kind of power will put democracy in danger. The carrying of the constitution everywhere and putting it in display and ...

How to be different or unique from others

  How to be different from others 1. Make decisions on your own and stick to them. Listen to the discussions going on around you. Be a good listener but go ahead with what you feel is right and make your own decision. Do not depend on others for the choices you make and be proud and hold yourself responsible for whatever choices you make. 2. Be honest to yourself. Never lie to yourself. Do not try to emulate others. Just be yourself and be proud of who you are. One should be honest not just to others but also to oneself as you yourself are answerable to your conscious  at the end of the day. 3. Accept your flaws. Not everyone is perfect. We are all humans, not superhumans or God. We must admit to ourselves the flaws that we have and try to work on improving ourselves. Don't try to act as a perfect person as it leads to being dishonest and displaying your artificial self out there in the society and to yourself. 4. Respect Yourself. Learn to adore and respect yourself. God has ...

Do the Exit polls 2024 show that there was a wave in favor of Narendra Modi???

-
The elections in India are held like a festival. Every place from hotels to parks to small shops, every person talks about politics. Let it be if not who is coming to power but at least you will get some idea during a conversation that who will be shown the door by the people of this country. This time in most of the news channels, the anchors and a few analysts spoke about the chances the opposition might be having as there is an anti incumbency mood among the people of the country. Some people even said that people are bored with the face of Modi. They are looking for a change. People must have got what they had wanted. Now they are looking for a change. There is no wave like it was visible in 2014 or any sort of Nationalistic wave like it was after Pulwama in 2019. The Ram Mandir wave is not much except in a few places.  This was the general feeling. Even I had the same impression. But the day I went to vote, I saw a long line in my booth where normally that is not the scene and...
